I've just bought a Mix 3 5G. When I use the slider mechanism with the screen on, there's a blue flash on the left and right edges of the screen. Is this normal, or a fault?

Hi
Which one is better in CM9 in your opinion?
With SoftKeys?
Without SoftKeys?
I don't get why youd even want softkeys, why would you want to waste a portion of your screen with keys that you have already have anyway
i didn't buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate...
i did buy a device with a 5.3" screen because i like wasting screen real estate!
Tablet mode with touch keys is how i use it now.
I even disabled the original menu/back button, cause i touch them while typing.
Soft keys for the multitasking button. With such a large screen we can easily afford to waste screen real estate.
Also softkeys are not good for our SUPER AMOLED screens, they will be permanently burned to your screen after a few months!
No kidding!
Read about the AMOLED burn-in problem on Google.

So will your status bar.
I personally love the onscreen buttons. I disable the other ones and disable the backlight as well. I do this for the fact that my kids and I would constantly back out of things when grabbing the phone landscape. I like the fact that with the onscreen you have somewhere to grab the phone without backing out. And although not a big deal, its less stress not having to press the big button, and this I would think would help the longevity of the hardware button itself . But in the end, it's purely preference, oh and I don't worry about the burn in as I have mine set very low so its just noticeable and It moves when I open apps and when I go landscape.

I think that was so freaking obvious so I didn't mentioned it.
Point is, why have yet another static object on screen?

That is the main reason why I enable software keys on every ICS ROM I try! When you try on-screen keys you will feel how LONG it takes to launch the recent apps panel using the long-pres on Home button! Add to that I got very used to multitask using the recent apps softkey then physical button will only hinder my speed and will wear out in a matter of couple months
I've flashed the soft keys and disabled the back lights of the hardware keys, but how do I completely disable the hardware keys so I won't press them by accident?

I think its so freaking obvious that you're gonna have a burn in (allegedly) regardless.
Point is, why even bother trying avoid a screen burn in if its inevitable.

Point is if u enable softkey , ur status bar blend in with the keys to to bottom of the screen. Where is the another static object comes from? It is still one black bar just different position.

Have to quote this again so people are aware. Amoleds are notorious for ghosting due to pixel wear out burnout whatever you want to call it. Using the ICS on screen virtual buttons will surely destroy your screen.
That's why I also autohide my notification bar on the home screens.

Burn out is avoidable provided you don't leave static images on the screen for long periods of time. With the notification bar it is always there unless you use a launcher that hides it on the home screens and apps that have the option to hide the notification bar as well.
I use opera mobile so I can browse in full screen and not worry about static notification bars. Also use launcher pro so I can hide the notification bar.

How did you disabled them??? Is there an easy way?
I like to use the softkeys simply becuase it allows me to completely disable the capacitive buttons and use my s pen to go back, home and bring up the multitasking window pane :good:

That's one of those old wives tales.
The burn-in isn't so much related to the technology as it is related to build quality.
Most of those issues are stemming from Gnex owners, and the ones with problems usually have other build quality problems too... they just were unlucky to have a bad batch that skipped QC.
I've got a friend who had the Gnex from day one, and to this day... no burn-ins!
I would normally prefer physical buttons (ftw) but I'm going to have to agree that the Note needs "soft buttons" aka on-screen Navigations.
Why?
Because it gets annoying shifting finger to stylus and back again during the daily use.
Bonus reasons:
- without it, the device looks much better (like the Gnex or N9)
- these can be customized for colour, glow, function and gestures
Has anyone been having a issue with there screen where light leaks out of the corners of the screen? Mainly on blacks and other dark colors? Is this normal or did I get a defective screen?
Mine has a tiny bit of light on the top right (about 1/4 from the right, where one of yours is). It's extremely hard to see, and only shows itself when the screen's pitch black and the room lights are off. So not a problem for me at least

If it's a blotch or lines, it should be the glue. It'll go away after a few days/week. If it's just generally yellow when you tilt it, it's the pixel arrangement.

You can change and tweak the colors if you install a custom kernel that has the ability to do it like franco.kernel or trinity. you will need an application like the Franco.kernel updater app (paid) or trickster mod app (free) to tweak it.

I am coming from AMOLED and am disappointed in this screen
can anyone help i dont know why the upper part of the screen in white screen is darker than the rest and have something like twitter app i don't know what is this is anyone know thing about it ?
I think that is called a screen burn. It happens after a few years of use generally. It means that your screen is slowly dying.

I've disabled them too. They made sense as I had backlit symbols there telling me what the keys do. But I don't need lights for two dots that give me no information.

That's it. There was no way to swap the functions of the keys on my previous phone. I could just turn it on or off. It was useful when you had a blackout and had to look which button does what ^^
Anyway, it was more a nice to have than a must have feature. I probably wouldn't use the back lighting as it sometimes even was brighter than the phone screen.
Or just annoying while watching videos or something.

I'd have preferred it if the backlight was always on when the screen is on, but not a big deal if it's off. I liked the backlights of my Nexus S, they weren't too bright.

That would be pretty awesome. Maybe next year they could give them a brightness control and color control.. my umi super had a home button that strobed and changed colours.. It was beautiful to look at. It doubled as a notification LED..
